Guest KevinEndon Posted 10 July , 2008 Share Posted 10 July , 2008 Can a pal check to see if this is the correct date of death for a Royal Scots Fusiliers bloke please http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_detail...casualty=685223 CWGC has his date of death as the 12/06/15 which is just 6 days after landing, something tells me it should be the 12/07/15 when the RSF took a pounding in Gallipoli. Is there anything in the war diary for the 12th June. I hope someone can help MGIA Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnr.ktrha Posted 10 July , 2008 Share Posted 10 July , 2008 Kev, it's the same date on the Scottish National War Memorial Site. Regards, Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Clifton Posted 10 July , 2008 Share Posted 10 July , 2008 Hello Kevin Another thought is that, if the original repot of his death (Army Form B103, IIRC) had a clerical error, then Soldiers Died, CWGC records and the National Memorial could still be wrong even if they all had the same date.

sotonmate Posted 10 July , 2008 Share Posted 10 July , 2008 Kevin The War Diary should have the answer,as you requested in Post 1. In the meantime,when I read the book (British Regiments at Gallipoli) or something quite similar (!) it was a fact of daily life that troops were shelled on arrival,on deployment,in trenches,in fact wherever a movement was spotted. I could imagine this man being hit at any time,one day,6 days, or 3 months, into the deployment. Sotonmate If you don't get an answer as to what is in the Diary PM me by Aug 10.
